Creative Strategies

My freshman Creative Strategies course built cardboard structures, suspended from a hallway beam that included found machines that created manifestos about the direction each student wanted to go with their art. We had an excellent critique this morning. Here are three solutions:

A back-lit cardboard house structure contains hanging dolls. One doll is suspended by a kitchen mixer and spins quickly.

A suspended exercise bike is equipped with a fabricated cardboard mirror, soundtrack and custom-welded basket extension, filled with picnic supplies made from cardboard and colored tape.

A horse slowly spins while a music box plays in a suspended carousel frame with repeated text: “Now is about everyone else, because later is about me.”
